# Frank Warren Gives Big Update On Anthony Yarde vs. Joshua Buatsi

Frank Warren has given a big update on the proposed light heavyweight showdown between British rivals Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi.

Yarde was hotly-tipped to fight on the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev card in two months time, which features the Queensberry versus Matchroom 5 on 5.

However, it instead seems that the hard-hitting light-heavyweight title hopeful will headline a show in London in a domestic dust-up with Buatsi.

Yarde bounced back from a second unsuccessful world title challenge against Beterbiev with two early stoppage wins against Jorge Silva and Marko Nikolic within the last six months and has been linked to a clash with both Callum Smith and Buatsi ever since.

Although, recent reports suggested that the Buatsi fight is close, rumours to which the [Ghanaian-born Londoner responded to and denied on social media](https://twitter.com/boxingbuatsi/status/1772341915859792176).

*‘No offer yet. Still waiting. You all know who I’ve asked for.”*

*“Been ready to go. Waiting on @mranthonyyarde @Queensberry.”*

Meanwhile, [speaking to BoxNation](https://youtu.be/OceKSLmKtns?si=a4sj-lnKHTEbjlSf), Warren shockingly revealed that Buatsi’s side of the deal is signed and it is in fact his own fighter and his trainer who are holding up negotiations.

*“He has had an offer and they have accepted the offer. That’s where we are \[at the moment\] and in the meantime we are trying to sort a deal out with Anthony \[Yarde\].*

*“We are dealing with his \[Yarde’s\] management and I hope we do \[agree terms\]. It is a matter of everybody understanding what they bring to the table.*

*“Everybody has got their different views and I’ve seen a couple of videos that have been put out, certainly one that has been put out by Tunde \[Ajayi\] that I got really p\*\*\*ed off with.*

*“I thought it was really disrespectful to everybody that he mentioned. If they want the \[Buatsi\] fight, it is there to be done.”*

[Both Ben Shalom and Yarde’s team have previously expressed hopes that a fight with Buatsi could be staged at a stadium in London in June](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/joshua-buatsi-anthony-yarde-big-update/), but that may be dependent on whether Boxxer or Queensberry stage the event.
